372 Words2 Pages

In 2007, I, along with a few of my peers, founded the Little Lemon Drop Jr. Guild as a way to give back to our community. Since then, this nonprofit organization has raised thousands of dollars that has gone to support uncompensated care at Seattle Children’s Hospital. Throughout my middle school and high school years, I have been very involved with this group. When I had the opportunity to choose a service placement for this year, I immediately knew I would be doing my service through the Little Lemon Drop Jr. Guild because of my previous involvement with the guild and my passion for the cause the guild supports. I believe that the cause the Little Lemon Drop Jr. Guild supports is very important, as although I have never had to undergo a

When I became the president of my National Honor Society(NHS) chapter, I set out to make a difference within my school. In years past, the NHS chapter at my school was not extremely active and I set out to reinvent the chapter.

    Although most of my involvement has centered around politics, where I have been an active volunteer in the current election cycle, my service also extends to the homeless community in the Quad Cities. After recognizing the extent of homelessness in Davenport, my friend decided to start a nonprofit 5K to benefit a local shelter and I immediately joined in the venture. By working with the shelter rather than independently, we were able to avoid the faults set forth in To Hell With Good Intentions. Our good intentions have donated over $10,000 to King’s Harvest Ministries, who uses funds in a way that raises the standard of living for the local homeless

  • Personal Experience: Volunteering At The Veterinary Clinic

    189 Words  | 1 Pages

    Over the previous summer, I spent forty hours observing my local veterinarian to fulfill the requirement for my senior project. Following my time shadowing, though, I came to really enjoy being in the presence of the very selfless veterinarians, and of course, the little kittens and puppies that came into the clinic every day. Because of my fervent love for animals, I decided to volunteer at the veterinary clinic for the rest of the summer. Volunteering at the veterinary clinic was perhaps one of the most rewarding things I have ever done. Not only did I feel incredibly happy and satisfied knowing I was voluntarily donating my time for a good cause, but I also felt really great being apart of a larger team who all wanted the same goal- to

    When I first learned of our Community Service/Service Learning assignment I was immediately flustered, I thought to myself "how do they expect us to learn all of this information and on top of that volunteer the little free time that we do have", little did I know I was in for a dose of reality. It is so easy to get caught up in our own world and our own struggles we truly forget how blessed we actually are. Like most, my intent was to take one day from school, show up, help out, and be done with it. I was intending on sorting donations that had been taken in for the month. Such as diapers, formula, clothes, and nonperishable food items.
